Chocolate Covered Almonds Recipe
Ingredients
This delicious chocolate covered almonds recipe requires just 3 ingredients: almonds, semi-sweet chocolate, and butter. You’ll need 1 cup of whole almonds, 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter.
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and spread the almonds onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, stirring once during baking, or until the almonds are lightly toasted. Once the almonds are toasted, set aside to cool.
Once the almonds have cooled, melt the chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can use a heat-safe bowl over a pot of boiling water. Stir the chocolate and butter until melted and smooth.
Using a spoon, gently drop the almonds into the chocolate one at a time. Coat each almond completely with chocolate. Once all the almonds are coated, use a fork to transfer them to a parchment lined baking sheet. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Once the chocolate has cooled and hardened, you can enjoy your chocolate covered almonds. Store the almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
